Five-time hurdle winner with a good strike-rate, one she enhanced when prevailing in a classy small-field beginners' chase at Ludlow (3m, good); remote last of three in a Listed chase for mares at Warwick where soft ground was no good to her (fine on good to soft); has since had wind surgery and retains potential as a chaser.

1-22; has dropped markedly in the weights over the past six months (form figures P5UP03); trainer seems to have his string in better form now, and she did rally from a tough position when modest third at Kelso (3m; good, 22-1) latest; no forlorn hope.
